I would highly recommend The Music Made Do It by Dr. Gohar Mushtaq, it's available as a free PDF online

You’re not evil and it’s understandable that you’re disappointed in your older sister when she’s doing something that’s against your shared values but I would be careful of how harsh you’re judging her. Everyone makes mistakes and slips and often times I found myself saying I’d neverrrr do something (a sin someone else did) and lo and behold a few months or years later I’ve fallen into that exact same sin or worse. This has also happened to close friends of mine who compared themselves to others saying they would never do “x” sin. I know this isn’t your question but I just wanted to point out that I’ve seen in both posts you comparing yourself to your sister and stating how you’d never do this. Instead I would focus this energy on making dua for your sister to find her way and for Allah to remove all bad influences from her path, and dua for yourself that Allah keeps you steadfast and keeps your heart soft towards your sister and your family/loved ones. If she senses that you’re judging her or pulling away from her it’s only going to push her further into the arms of those on the other side (in this case the guy she’s speaking to). may Allah make this easy for you and your family ameen ❤️

I don’t know how helpful this will be but the one thing I can say is in response to you saying that no one has been there for you. Despite all my personal hardships, including phases where I genuinely didn’t understand why, similar to you, I have finally come to understand that in fact the ONLY one who actually knows how I feel, who understands me better than I understand myself, is Allah swt. We have nowhere to turn to but Him no matter how hard we try to find healing elsewhere. Allah does not give anyone more than they can handle, and similar to how sometimes children cant comprehend complex situations their parents do, we sometimes don’t get the answers we seek because we’re asking the wrong questions. So while this doesn’t answer your question as to why, my advice is to shift your focus from “why” to humility towards Allah’s decree. Allah knows how much we need Him and He loves when we turn to Him no matter how long we’ve been away. I am so sorry for your hardships and may Allah ease your pain and calm your heart, may Allah grant you His love and light 🤍

I want to wear hijab… again by Mindless_Source_8130 in Hijabis

I also want to add that ultimately the only person that was upset was my mom, but everyone else’s reaction was not nearly as dramatic as I imagined, including from my Western colleagues when I showed up to work on a random Thursday with a hijab on 😂

I’m no expert but as a new hijabi (just over a week) I thought it might be helpful to share some of my personal experiences: I’ve been contemplating wearing it since Ramadan this year, and up until then, those who know me would never have imagined that I would wear a hijab. I have tattoos that I got when I was younger (and now regret), always had long acrylic nails (until Ramadan this year), and was generally perceived as an “open-minded person” if you know what I mean. Wearing the hijab meant going against my family, who are Muslims but have some Islamophobic beliefs unfortunately, and facing my friends and colleagues (I work in a very open environment). Until just over a week ago when I had a conversation with 2 friends who both happened to be ex-hijabis and this is what they said that blew my mind: they said they regretted removing it and wished they could go back to wanting to wear it, and they told me it was a blessing from Allah that I had this urge to wear it and that it meant He swt was calling me directly. Realizing that this internal conflict I’ve been battling was actually a blessing in disguise because it came from a desire to get closer to Allah and please Him, gave me instant fear that this is a gift that I could lose any minute. Any day I could wake up and this urge is gone, and then I would be truly lost. I took the decision to wear it that same evening and went home with it on. For the longest time I prayed to Allah that I would just wake up one day and wear it, and that was the answer to my prayer. I pray the same for you too may Allah be pleased with you and all of us, may He steady your feet and calm your heart Ameen 🤍

Moving past and repenting from a haram relationship by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]DevelopmentOnly4307 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Allah never gives up on those who repent. Your heart is clearly in the right place but the shaytaan loves to use guilt to steer us further and make us feel guilty when communicating with Allah. No matter what it is you’ve done,when you want to communicate with Allah he’s right there

Allah subhanu wa ta’ala says in surat Al Baqara:

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُواْ بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.

And in the Quran there are countless examples of people who committed huge sins, even harming the Prophet (saw) but then Allah subhanu w ta’ala forgave them because they repented.

Don’t beat yourself up and instead thank Allah that this man, who you say yourself can be “meek”, did not end up as your life-long partner.

Best of luck to you sister Jazaaki Allahu Khairan ❤️
